Open Access

 

Open Access to º£½ÇÉçÇø publications

º£½ÇÉçÇø supports the principle that results of publicly-funded research should be made available as widely and freely as possible, this is known as 'Open Access.'

The full text of all new º£½ÇÉçÇø articles and conference papers should be made available in the institutional repository (), to other researchers, students and the wider public (subject to any publisher-imposed embargo periods).

Externally funded research projects must also check and meet their funder's Open Access requirements.

For details, see º£½ÇÉçÇø's policy on Managing Open Access.

This policy falls within our wider support for Open Research, as set out in our Open Research Position Statement.
